automatic internet time syncronization on my win-xp pro used to work very
well using a modem connection over the phone line.
recently I started using a WLAN wireless network connection (peer-to-peer)
(IEEE 802.11b) connected to another computer running on win2000 which is the
one connected to the internet (using an SMC EZ Card 10_100 (SMC1211TX). and
I get the following message: "An error occurred while Windows was
syncronizing with [name of server]". I tried other servers, and the same
happens.
or sometimes the message appears: "Windows has never attempted to syncronize
with an internet time server".
would appreciate some assistance.

Thanks for this, but I already tried it all.

FYI this is the complete list of time servers on my machine:
time.windows.com; time.nist.gov; time-a.nist.gov; time-b.nist.gov;
time-a.timefreq.bldrdoc.gov; time-b.timefreq.bldrdoc.gov;
time-c.timefreq.bldrdoc.gov; time.nist.gov; time-nw.nist.gov

I mean, is it possible that ALL 9 servers are down at the same time? (my
machine is connected to the net for 9 hours uninterrupted every day).
There's gotta be something else, don't you think? Especially because it used
to work with the modem connection. My firewall is off.
